And i love this photo :-D
Well i recently performed a Drive firmware upgrade for one of our Isilon cluster and below are the steps.
Procedure for Isilon Drive Firmware Upgrade:
1. Download the package from support.emc.com link
2. Copy the package to Install directory of the cluster, example:
<cluster>:/ifs/data/2015/upgrade/software
3. Disable the notifications:
a. isi services -a
celog_notification disable
b. isi services -a supportiq
disable
4. Install the package (once per cluster)
Command: isi pkg install /ifs/data/2015/upgrade/software/<package_name.tar>
5. Flush the cache and reboot each node; normally prefer doing it in a bottom-up fashion
a.
Run isi_flush step prior rebooting
each node.
b.
After
this comand runs, it will reboot the node.
i. isi_disk_firmware_reboot
–p
6. After the node comes back online, verify the firmware status on that node
i. isi devices
ii. isi_disk_firmware_reboot -p
Note: if all drives have been updated then the message "no disks needs firmware update" will be displayed
7. Repeat step 5 & 6 for the rest of the nodes in the cluster
8. Clear the alerts with command
a. isi events quiet all
b.
isi
events cancel all
9. Enable the notifications with commands:
a. isi services -a celog_notification enable
b. isi services -a supportiq enable
Happy Learning!
